Known for his pace and accuracy, Chameera sent his fellow Sri Lankans back to the pavilion with a fine performance. Chameera bowled a long-on delivery on the wicket, aimed at the top outside off-stump.

Unfortunately for him, the ball hit the thick inside edge, uprooting the leg stump. The Capitals celebrated happily, knowing they had secured the wicket of a key player.
This dismissal was a textbook example of top-class fast bowling, leaving Perera no room for error. Chameera’s hot start set the tone for Dubai Capitals as they looked to capitalize on an early breakthrough.
